No up on the GW newsite is a sneak peak of Lord Luthor Harkon and his band of rascals.

Can't see a zombie parrot there but I have hopes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those aren't those just rubbish conversions?

Well rubbish is just your opinion I happen to like them.

But they appear to be conversion yes, I think their release will be in a similar fashion to the LatD one with a mix of components from already existing boxes.

I think it will just be the zombie/skeleton sprues and maybe some militia sprues and a few extra new ones. You could make them yourself, really easy and probably cheaper than what they will sell them in the store.

I just noticed that most of the models are repeated throughout the unit...which would suggest that either they converted some models to be exactly the same, or they've had the cheek to cast these as metal models...

yeah i noticed this... im guessing its metal because converting things to look the same makes no sense at all.

Or has been suggested elsewhere that GW used photoshop to copy the limited range of models they built into a full unit.

That'd be my vote, as it really, really looks like the 'repeat' models are all painted exactly the same as well as built the same...

I have no interest in zombies, but I think they look pretty cool.

There are ten distinct models. The rest look to be copy/paste.
Strangely, this gets me in the mood to build an Undead Empire army...
